Abstract (en)

Disclosed is a non-volatile semiconductor memory device for transferring data which is inverted data of held data onto bit lines, without reading out read data to an external unit, when data is copied back. This device comprises NAND memory cells (2) connected to bit lines (BL), a flip-flop circuit (1) for temporarily holding write data, a P channel transistor (Q1) for precharging the bit lines (BL) to a predetermined potential, an N channel transistor (Q2) for connecting the bit lines (BL) to the flip-flop circuit (1), and an N channel transistor (Q3) having both ends connected between a node (5) of the flip-flop circuit (1) on the opposite side to the bit lines (BL) and one end of the transistor (Q2) on the bit line side. The transistor (Q3) is provided to hold read data and then output a potential according to its inverted data onto the bit lines (BL). The individual terminals of the flip-flop circuit (1) are connected via a column gate (3) to an I/O line and a BI/O line (inverted-signal line of I/O). <IMAGE>
